Brain-derived exosomes released into the blood are considered a liquid biopsy to investigate pathophysiological state, reflecting aberrant heterogeneous pathways of pathological progression brain in neurological diseases. provide promising prospects for diagnosis diseases, with exciting possibilities early and sensitive such However, capability traditional exosome isolation assays specifically isolate characterize brain-derived exosomal proteins by high-throughput proteomics clinical specimens from patients diseases cannot be assured. We report magnetic transferrin nanoparticles (MTNs) assay, which combined samples.The principle MTNs assay is ligand-receptor interaction through on receptor exosomes, electrostatic via positively charged negatively exosomes. In addition, simple rapid (< 35 min) does not require any large instrument. confirmed that accurately efficiently isolated serum samples humans neurodegenerative as dementia, Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS).

Abstract Tauopathies are a group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the aggregation microtubule-associated protein tau. Aggregates misfolded tau believed to be implicated in neuronal death, which leads range symptoms including cognitive decline, behavioral change, dementia, and motor deficits. Currently, there no effective treatments for tauopathies. There four clinical candidates phase III trials 16 II trials. While currently approved, is increasing evidence suggest that various therapeutic approaches may slow progression tauopathies or improve symptoms. This review outlines landscape drugs (indexed through February 28, 2023) target pathology describes drug development as well those discovery preclinical phases. The also contains information on notable programs inactive have been discontinued from development.

In this review, we evaluate the role of fluid biomarkers related to neurodegenerative diseases. Such conditions present diagnostic challenges due phenotypic heterogeneity, longitudinal evolution, overlap between entities, and variability in progression. Biomarkers can potentially provide insight into diagnosis, progression, prognostication, treatment efficacy. This review covers recent advances including beta-amyloid, tau protein, neurofilament light chain, alpha-synuclein glial fibrillary briefly touches upon imaging biomarkers. For each biomarker, discuss pathophysiological correlates, clinical uses, accuracy, limitations.
